The site that now houses the Ellis opened triumphantly in 1913 as the Winecoff Hotel; it was Atlanta's tallest building at the time. The builders were so confident that its masonry construction made it "absolutely fireproof" that they didn't bother with fire escapes, sprinklers or alarms, a folly that had tragic consequences in 1946 when it became the scene of what's still the nation's worst hotel fire. After more than a half century of post-fire use as a hotel and a retirement home followed by years sitting empty, an outstanding $24 million restoration (including the very latest in fire safety of course) brought this once-glamorous jewel back to life in 2007. Its 127 rooms offer boutique sophistication at a price that won't break the bank. The espresso-colored bamboo paneling, limestone flooring and Kohler garden style shower heads in the rooms, along with iPad docks and Molton Brown bath products, are unexpected luxuries. The Ellis is also within easy walking distance of the CNN Center, the Georgia Aquarium, and the World of Coca Cola.
